From: Meet Soni Date: Fri, 19 Sep 2025 08:26:44 +0000 (+0530) Subject: doc: pack-refs: factor out common options X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=93efe34f5a9a6ef705e6f55d46852717ce242340;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git doc: pack-refs: factor out common options In preparation for adding documentation for `git refs optimize`, factor out the common options from the `git-pack-refs` man page into a shareable file `pack-refs-options.adoc` and update `git-pack-refs.adoc` to use an `include::` macro. This change is a pure refactoring and results in no change to the final rendered documentation for `pack-refs`.
